    I installed a kill button on one of the coils of my RD400. It made for pretty smooth upshifts.

    Venture Royale

    I had a 86 and thought it was the best bike I owned. i also had a 86 1200 Wing. The Venture would own the 1200 and 1500 Wing on acceleration. Many of them go past 100,000 with no problems. if you look at a 83 o4 84,2nd gear problems were frequent. If the 2nd gear was fixed, there are 2 punch...

    I didn't see it - lesson learned

    Did a similar thing a couple weeks ago blasted a 4 way stop at 35. Driver never budged. Thing is I ride that road somewhat frequently. Just in a daze. Not good. I stopped about 30 feet on the other side, gave myself hell,got my head out of my *** and continued.

    Tire Stand and Bead Breaking

    I built a square out of 2x4s that the inside was made slightly larger than the rear disc. Keep the disc off the floor nicely. A old bumperjack used with it breaks even the most stubborn beads. Then just spoon away. BTW spray silicone is the greatest stuff to aid REMOVAL of the tire from rim.

    Worth Noting

    I caught it on the nightly NEWS. A hero for sure. My question is, what about Sgt Mahoney? I heard Captain Grobergs account and it sounded like the Sgt was an equal. I certainly would want both on my side. God bless them both.

    Sepang, Sepow!

    I'm only a novice, not knowing the ins and outs of MotoGP, but shouldn't team Yamaha superseed the nationality of the racers? Aren't Jorge and Vale teammates? Should Marcus actually be helping ANY Yamaha rider secure a championship?

    My friend's kawasaki h2

    It indeed is a beautiful ride,but I'm disappointed they chose to rebadge it using the iconic H2. If it's good enough, it can make it's own history. It shouldn't even be called a 2nd gen. I pine for my old H2 every time I see one.

    GPS Help: Where to Mount?

    I use a tankbag when I go out mine is velcroed to the top window of it. My bag is a tall expanding monster that puts the audio at the right height to be able to hear at interstate speeds.

    Deltran Battery Tender Lifespan

    I read on the instructions of one of the replacment batteries I installed that they should only be charged to a specific voltage,and not left to float for long periods. Was this a dream old farts have from time to time?

    Riding on shoulder

    When we lived in WVa my wife went to pass to the right when the car in front was turning left(signal on). Car ahead must have changed their mind,turned right into her. Accident still deemed wifes fault.
